Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Capua intractana sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 319th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Capua intractana is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (35 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
